113

In these days, inasmuch as We have lifted not the veils that conceal
the countenance of the Cause of God, nor disclosed unto men the fruits of
these stations which We have been forbidden to describe, thou beholdest
them drunk with heedlessness. Otherwise, were the glory of this station to
be revealed unto men to an extent smaller than a needle's eye, thou
wouldst witness them gathering before the threshold of divine mercy and
hastening from all sides to the court of nearness in the realms of divine
glory. We have concealed it, however, as mentioned before, that those who
believe may be distinguished from them that deny, and that those who turn
unto God may be discerned from them that turn aside. I verily proclaim:
"There is no power nor strength except in God, the Help in Peril, the
Self-Subsisting."
